Anyone know of any 2.5L stroker kits? I searched a little bit but everything came up for the 4.0L.

YJwonderboy 03-29-07, 09:07 PM No idea! But a 2.5L stroked would be interesting to see...I'll do some searching as well, as I'm running the 2.5L as well (Just with a beard and a rocking chair, and you gotta hold its hand while crossing the road). swbooking 03-29-07, 09:09 PM Why...? YJwonderboy 03-29-07, 09:12 PM Same reason a dog licks itself...because it CAN The-Hurricane 03-29-07, 11:24 PM the real quetion is WHY NOT!!!! im in crawlin92 03-30-07, 05:25 AM Why...? Well... it's not exaclty the most powerful motor out there. swbooking 03-30-07, 02:09 PM So then swap in a 4.0 or V8 and dont waste money on trying to fix up a poor motor. Just my $.02... medicmahem 03-30-07, 03:18 PM So then swap in a 4.0 or V8 and dont waste money on trying to fix up a poor motor. Just my $.02... Ditto here's 2 more for a total of 4 cents. crawlin92 03-30-07, 06:49 PM Ok... #1. I have been told a 4.0 doesnt just drop in, and I dont feel like re-locating mounts, changing harnesses, etc.... #2. For a good 4.0 plus everything that I would need I'm looking at more than a stroker kit would cost me. I won't buy high miles, and I wont buy anything that I don't know what shape its in. #3. V8 is a waste of money and time in my situation because A) the cost of getting one... B) The cost of making my Jeep able to take one... C) gas prices... The 2.5 has plenty of potential.

I guess I'm confused - you say a good 4.0L will cost more than a stroker kit... Is there a "stroker kit" for the 2.5L? I guess I'm curious what you would actually get given that you're starting with 140 ft-lb of torque... Wouldn't a good used (or even bad used and then rebuilt) 4.0L cost less than $1.5k? I can't see tearing down and stroking/rebuilding a 2.5L for the probable cost and marginal benefit? I have first hand knowledge of what goes into stroking a 4.0L, and there are many things to consider that are much more difficult to deal with than moving some motor mounts... YJwonderboy 04-04-07, 09:16 PM Just to ask...what are the specs of a 2.5L? About 92HP I know, but what about the torque? Is it 140? Cause that's actaully not that bad O.o crawlin92 04-05-07, 05:37 AM YJ is 123hp@5400rpm 138ft lbs@3500rpm TJ is 120hp@5400rpm 140ft lbs@3500rpm The-Hurricane 04-05-07, 08:27 PM no way ive got 120 horses? sweet!!! best news of my day!! YJwonderboy 04-06-07, 11:51 PM The YJ 4cyl is in NO WAY putting out 120hp!! That's impossible! Saying as I gotta buddy running a 2.4L Chysler motor in a Sundance, and it only put out 95. With only .1L bigger...I'm not expecting much more horsepower. And with the Jeep's Cams and other doodads...there's just no way.... crawlin92 04-07-07, 05:41 AM http://autos.msn.com/research/vip/default.aspx?make=Jeep&model=Wrangler#used Look for yourself. My Honda puts out 125hp and thats just a 1.6 single cam. 120 out of a 2.5l is actually low in my book. |
